Than pour the coconut milk over it, add the lemongrass and the djeruk perut leaves together with some salt and 3 table spoons of vinegar. Boil water and add some until the mixture is under water.

Allow to simmer on low heat for 2,5 to 3 hours. Continue stirring frequently.

It's lovely with pandan rice and a fresh vegetable dish (cucumber for instance).
